In 1905 Gustav Klimt performed the fine painting subtended by the decorative element within a sinuous frame of surfaces. His art, which projects the figures, above all feminine, in a timeless dimension, reflects his cultured education: son of a goldsmith engraver, he attended the school of applied arts in Vienna. A trip to Italy brings him closer to Byzantine art and the possibilities of using gold. This collection of bijoux is inspired by the finest details, the delicate “texture” and the diversified palette that describes the figures of motherhood contained in the painting “The Three Ages”.
Pendant
Gustav Klimt – The three Ages of the Woman
The pendant that completes the set contains, in the elongated and contemporary form, a quote from the wonderful portrait of the female world imagined by Klimt. This world is made of intense and tiny traits, of golden and rhodium flashes, of stones selected in two scales of warm and cold colors and hand-set on a background of bas-reliefs and enamels hand-glazed and polished from Byzantium, like the ancient techniques require.
Fragments of a universal and overflowing beauty that Klimt has offered us and that allows the wearer of the jewel to feel part of and participant in this “great beauty” all female and woman.
Earrings
Gustav Klimt – The three Ages of the Woman
The two elongated and harmonious silhouettes of the earring fusions and, as intended in the sketch, are harmonious as female nature. This jewel transports the wearer into “another” dimension. Space, time and femininity are concentrated and fused into a sliver of a dream, to be worn and to be able to choose among a palette of colors with warm notes spread in cloisonné enamels and enriched by stones in various shades, or in the selection of cold shades such as light blue, blue, purple and green. The earring is realized by means of a pendant, with a movement aimed at giving it a further harmonious cut that can transport the wearer in an atmosphere of suspension and contact with the ever changing and iridescent feminine universe.
Bracelet
Gustav Klimt – The three Ages of the Woman
In the dream of wearing an art that can go beyond the temporal dimension, I imagined wearing an important jewel that contained the sinuous shapes, the complex bas-relief of the textures, the flashes of gold, the textures of the fantastic brush strokes and the palettes of infinite touches of color with which Klimt created the wonderful portrait of the female universe, captured in three key moments of the parable of life.
A kaleidoscope of beauty that I tried to encase on the surface of the bracelet enriched with wefts, of multi-colored cloisonné enamels, of stones set in nuances in tone with the enamels.
All handmade pieces in order to rejoice the experience, to be a part of the infinite and extraordinary feminine universe wearing this bracelet.
Rings
Gustav Klimt – The three Ages of the Woman
Great was the joy when I was able to put on my finger the three rings dedicated to this intense painting by Gustav Klimt. As imagined before in my mind, now materialized on my finger in gold, rhodium and dark ruthenium finishes, it was perfectly assonant in the chromatic variations of the enamels and in the glow of the stones. Perfect synthesis of the profound messages that come from the piece with the sensory qualities of the thicknesses and the detected textures that touching it evokes in the kaleidoscopic and infinitely changing feminine psyche.
In the dark ruthenium for the male range in order for him to perceive within himself the absolute “feminine”, in its pure essence.
